Hyperplastic polyp of the esophagus is a rare condition and most of the time asymptomatic. We report a case of a 69-year-old female with scleroderma who presented with worsening dysphagia, regurgitation of food, and non-cardiac chest pain. Upper endoscopy showed a nodular lesion in the distal esophagus. Biopsy of the lesion showed features of hyperplastic polyp without any metaplastic changes. She was started on anti-acid therapy and an outpatient upper endoscopy was performed which showed no residual polyp.
食管增生性息肉是一种罕见病症,多数情况下无症状。我们报告一例69岁患硬皮病的女性患者,其出现吞咽困难加重、食物反流和非心源性胸痛症状。上消化道内镜检查显示食管远端有一个结节性病变。该病变活检显示为增生性息肉特征,无任何化生改变。给予她抗酸治疗,并进行了门诊上消化道内镜检查,结果显示无残留息肉。
